“…This finding is almost similar to a study done by Jain et al 16 which showed a zone of inhibition (22-44 mm) compared with the study done by Karuppiah and Rajaram. 17 Honey showed the least zone of inhibition (0.5 ± 0.6 mm).…”

Aim:The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of lemon, ginger, garlic, and honey extracts on Streptococcus mutans. Materials and methods:Commercially obtained honey, ginger, garlic, and lemon were included in the study to evaluate its efficacy in isolation and in combination against S. mutans. The efficacies of extracts were tested using well diffusion method, and its effect was evaluated by measuring the zone of inhibition around the well. Antimicrobial activity of the extracts was carried out individually and compared considering triplicates of all the extracts.Results: When individual comparison of the extracts was made, garlic showed greatest antimicrobial activity with a mean zone of inhibition (34.9 ± 0.58 mm) and honey showed least antimicrobial activity (0.5 ± 0.6 mm). When combinations of extracts were tested against S. mutans, lemon and garlic combination showed the greatest zone of inhibition (27.6 ± 0.43 mm) compared with other combinations, and ginger + lemon combinations showed the least zone of inhibition (12.6 ± 0.43 mm).

“…The Aloe vera gel at 50 and 100% showed inhibition zone of 30 and 54 mm, respectively, and antibacterial action was confirmed by promising results showed in MIC technique (12.5 μg/mL) (Fani and Kohanteb, 2012).The G. lancifolia fruit juice at 5 mg/mL gave 47 mm inhibition zone (Policegoudra et al, 2012) and the bulbo juice from A. sativum at 100 mg/mL showed 30 mm of inhibition zone (OHara et al, 2008). It is important to note that in the case of A. sativum (Jain et al, 2015), although the anti-S. mutans potential has been also confirmed by MIC (6,250 μg/mL) and MBC (12,500 μg/mL), the concentration showed in these two quantitative techniques are not in the parameters established by high impact publications since they use (Cos et al, 2006) reference which, unfortunately, makes uncertain the validation of these species.…”

Oral diseases represent a major public health problem, especially for economically marginalized communities with limited access to health services. In addition, the constant increase in bacterial resistance to many of the antibiotics contributes to worsen the problem. In this context, great importance had been given to natural compounds for the discovery of new drugs that contribute to the prevention and control of oral affection. The present study proposed a systematic review of articles that used the techniques of agar diffusion and broth dilution to measure the efficiency of plant samples against Streptococcus mutans, one of the main agents involved in the development of dental cavities. Families and plant species most used in the study, the concentration and polarity measurements of the samples used in the tests, the disk and well variants in the agar diffusion technique, as well as the most outstanding results presented by the articles are reported. The review highlights the bacteriostatic effect of natural products against S. mutans and strengthened parameters that could validate the best strategy for the identification of natural products with antimicrobial action, having as object the S. mutans. The agar diffusion test should not be neglected as screening test but scientific measurements should be taken into consideration to obtain plant extracts which are likely to undergo clinical usage against S. mutans.

“…In our study, we also determined antibacterial activities for this essence. Jain et al (2015) evaluated the antibacterial efficacy of Aloe vera, amla (Phyllanthus emblica), garlic (Allium sativum), ginger (Zingiber officinalis), neem (Azadirachta indica) and tulsi (Ocimum sanctum) extracts against Streptococcus mutans using MIC and MBC and also the disc diffusion method. The results of antibacterial susceptibility testing showed that inhibition zones varied from 6 to 25 mm in diameter.…”

Dental caries is amongst the most prevalent oral diseases in both humans and dogs. Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus (mutans streptococci) are the major cariogenic bacteria isolated from dental caries. Since these bacteria generally show resistance to common antibiotics, natural products such as plant essential oils could be a good substitute. For this study, we aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activity of Carum copticum essential oil against Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus. Twenty canine dental plaque samples were collected and the presence of S. mutans and S. sobrinus in the samples was confirmed using biochemical, culture and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays. The resistance patterns of isolates were determined using a disc diffusion method according to the Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute protocol against the following antimicrobials: chloramphenicol, tetracycline, penicillin, erythromycin, ceftriaxone, cefotaxime, vancomycin and azithromycin. The antibacterial activities of Carum copticum essential oil were based on the disc diffusion method as well on a determination of the minimum inhibitory (MIC 50 ) and minimum bactericidal concentration values. S. mutans and S. sobrinus were isolated in 8 (40%) and 2 (10%), respectively, of plaque samples. Most of these isolates were determined to display multidrug resistance patterns to the eight antibiotics evaluated. Screening of the antibacterial activity of the essential oil indicated that MIC 50 and minimum bactericidal concentration values were 20 µg/ml and 80 µg/ml, respectively, and that the zone of inhibition in the disc diffusion method ranged from 2 to 5 mm for serial concentrations of the essential oil. Based on our results, we suggest that Carum copticum essential oil exerts antibacterial effects against Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus and may be a useful treatment for carious lesions with bacterial aetiologies.
